"Myrtle Parade" lyrics

Myrtle's from the coast down in Carolina
Said cultural consumer with her MFA
Lynch too plays syndicated nostalgia
SONY purchase just a click away
I saw your profile standing in profile
Waiting for the pot at the end of the hallway
Past the hallway balcony light show
Cigarette smoke for the Sabbath below

And you're always out of place at the Myrtle parade
Forced to party and act out the Myrtle charade
Myrtle charade

And I was followed by two men with stickered Macintosh
I've seen their show, it's always the same
Some girl's hands are rubbing over my body
Click to wipe the slate to type her pen name
(Erased)

But I'm always out of place at the Myrtle parade
I just go through motions act out the Myrtle charade
Myrtle charade

We've all heard of Myrtle but nobody's met her
Her stale beer sits at the top of a pillar
She hides her figure in an XL tee
Unknown pleasures on her back
I saw her profile standing in profile
Pillbox down digestive tract
The laptop men want Myrtle's bed
Their gonna have to go Wyckoff instead

And it's always out of phase at the Myrtle parade
We're just cast as background in Myrtle charade
Myrtle charade

And I was followed by a tall man with his head in his hood
This time I hope he don't know my name
Some kind of deals happen once in a lifetime
Click to wipe the slate and clear all terrain
(Erased)

I stuck around for lights and the wine
But never really having a good time
Myrtle cried 'I deserve so much better
Been here such a long long time
Such a long time long time long time

And even she's even out of place at the Myrtle parade
Forced to party and act out the Myrtle charade
Myrtle charade
